“My son has been attending the Clarence Centre for 21 years and still continues to attend the centre for his individual physiotherapy sessions on weekly basis. 

We are extremely happy with the physical progress he has made, given the complex condition he has through the individual therapy sessions and working hand in hand with the physiotherapist to carry out the exercise programme at home devised for him.  

When my son started attending the centre 21 years ago the hospital medical team had informed us that he may not be able to walk or talk due to having difficulty with feeding or other complex issues, but they have been proven wrong through the guidance of the physiotherapists at Clarence Centre, my son is able to walk, eat with assistance and he is fully verbal” (parent).
